the bright side of ugly

infamous by name
subbing ceramics today
I have ceramics
second period
he comes
he sits
so out of place
so very out of place
among the clay and the glaze
he sits at a clay stained table
and reveals
from soft nylon case
his prize
electric guitar

he plays
with muffler

sadly
picking at notes
melancholy

I wonder how
he ended up a substitute teacher


of all things
a substitute teacher
